Refund Policy
1. Overview
This Refund Policy governs refunds for services purchased from Royal Freight Advisory through our Shopify-powered store. All services are digital analytics deliverables (dashboards, reports, consulting) provided to freight and logistics businesses.
Digital services have limited refund eligibility due to immediate delivery commencement upon payment receipt.
2. Refund Eligibility
| Service Status | Refund Eligible | Conditions |
|---|---|---|
| Pre-Delivery (within 24 hours of purchase) | ✓ Full Refund | No work initiated. Simple cancellation request. |
| Work Initiated (requirements gathered) | ⚠️ Partial Refund | 50% of fees, less setup costs ($250 minimum). |
| Dashboards Delivered | ✗ No Refund | Services rendered and accepted. |
| Non-Delivery (30+ days past due) | ✓ Full Refund | Our material breach only. |
3. Refund Request Process

5. Exceptions & Special Cases

5.3 Payment Errors
Full refunds for payment processing errors (double charges, incorrect amounts) confirmed by Shopify transaction logs.
6. Chargebacks & Disputes
Chargebacks circumvent our review process and incur:
- $50 processing fee

- Legal collection for disputed amounts + fees
Always contact us first before initiating payment disputes.

Cross-border fees may apply:
- Currency conversion fees (1-3%)
- International wire fees ($15-45)

These fees are non-refundable and deducted from refund amounts.
